.te

Since the paper size sensor is not set, the digital copier cannot recognize the size and direction of paper which is actually inserted.
Therefore, the left margin is set according to the paper size specified in
the print data sent from the computer, and print process is performed.
If the computer does not specify the paper size, or in the case of the
custom size, the left margin is set according to the default paper size.

The GDI-PWB is provided with IEEE1284 I/F on the host side, and the
16-bit bi-directional data bus I/F and UART on the machine side.
Transfer of image data with the IMC-PWB is performed with this 16-bit
bi-directional data bus. Command status information with the engine is
processed with UART.
This unit is installed to the position of PCL-PWB on the conventional
AR-235/275.
JBIG compression data sent from the host are transferred to the IMC
PWB, where the data are extracted to be VIDEO data, and sent
through the MCU PWB to the LSU.

In E-mail Alerts and E-mail Status, a transmission task is generated


regardless of the job which is under process in the machine. These
tasks are processed in the following rules:
When the machine receives a mail transmission request during a job
process (copy scan, copy output, print output, other process) of the
machine, it performs transmission process regardless of the job.
When the machine receives a mail transmission request under other
situation, if the job is triggered during transmission process, the job
is started.
When the machine receives a mail transmission request during the
simulation mode, the request is accepted and transmission process
is started.
When the machine receives a mail transmission request during the
key operator program, it is accepted and transmission process is
started.
When the controller sends two or more requests during a job, only
the last request is accepted.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD


When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.

hr
an

Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.

(German)
Achtung
Explosionsgefahr bei Verwendung inkorrekter Batterien.
Als Ersatzbatterien drfen nur Batterien vom gleichen Typ oder
vom Hersteller empfohlene Batterien verwendet werden.
Entsorgung der gebrauchten Batterien nur nach den vom
Hersteller angegebenen Anweisungen.

Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40C higher
than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusiveuse soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

.te

Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220C, which is


about 40C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land
separation or may exceed the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB
when completion of soldering is confirmed.

Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip
may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.

If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted


together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip
after completion of soldering work.

If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean
and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
